That was then. This is now. New illnesses and conditions are upon us. New and controversial treatments. For many who may have wished that the legacy left by Cayce might be updated and made current, Canadian Dr. Douglas James Cottrell, PhD, appears ready and willing to take up the gauntlet.

In 1974, Cottrell discovered that he possessed the very same talent Cayce had; that is, the ability to access the so-called Akashic Records or "intelligent field" that connects all matter at the Quantum Level.

Quietly, without a lot of fanfare, Cottrell has since provided 1000s of individuals all over the world with individual health readings, exactly as Cayce did a century earlier.

"My dad was a very well-kept secret for some 40 years," explains Many Mansions Publisher D.M. Cottrell, B.A., M.A., son of Douglas James. "He has already done over double the number of meditative sessions that Cayce himself did in his own lifetime. Then, this year in 2014, he was suddenly ‘discovered’ by the New York Edgar Cayce Association; and became the featured speaker for their 11-day summer NYC conference, doing two, sometimes three, interactive group demonstrations a day. Now, we can’t keep up with demand.”

In response to his newfound fame – after four decades of hard work! – Dr. Cottrell now releases what he considers his most important book ever – THE COMPLEAT NEW AGE HEALTH GUIDE, 292 pages in length, covering more than 149 specific maladies and treatments arranged alphabetically. Foreworded by the individual who just recently "discovered" him, Jack Rosen of the New York Edgar Cayce Association.

The book sheds light on a wide range of conditions still considered a “mystery,” even today.

“Take Dupuytrens Contracture, or Claw Hand,” suggests D.M. Cottrell. “A condition affecting millions. Not only is the cause unknown, but the only surgery available to relieve the disease usually makes it worse. The meditations suggest the cause is in the brain, not in the hand. The brain determines, incorrectly, the hand is under duress, under threat, and creates the super-hard, invasive, tissue as a defence. The surgery to remove the dense tissue only reinforces the brain’s initially misguided view that the hand was under attack, so it produces yet more invasive tissue in response to the surgery. This is the only view of Dupuytrens that actually makes sense!”
